2015 Minyanville Publishing and Multimedia, LLC. All Rights ReservedIs Apple Inc. Heading to $888?Editor&#39;s Note: This piece was sent out as an alert to TechStrat subscribers on Friday September 27. Today I am rolling out my new Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) price target. As you all will remember I never joined the aggressive upside calls seen in 2012. In fact I was in the opposite camp selling down the position and moving those funds into Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) before that stock nearly doubled from the $550 area to the $900s. During that time AAPL went from $705 to $385 though I started incrementally increasing my AAPL bullishness in the low-$500s. I also largely favored my bandwidth ...http://www.minyanville.com/mvpremium/2013/09/30/is-apple-heading-to-888/
Mon, 30 Sep 2013 11:45:00 EDTDesperately Seeking Support&ldquo;Everybody believes in something and everybody by virtue of the fact that they believe in something uses that something to support their own existence.&rdquo; -Frank Zappa &nbsp; The&nbsp;Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) and S&amp;P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) extended their losing streak to 5 consecutive decliners yesterday. &nbsp; Five consecutive losing days is a rare bird historically on the Dow Jones so the normal expectation would be for a rally attempt especially with the Dow testing its 50-day moving average. &nbsp; DJIA Daily Chart: &nbsp; However another early rally may be difficult to engineer for the technical bulls with early rallies of ...http://www.minyanville.com/mvpremium/2013/09/26/desperately-seeking-support/
Thu, 26 Sep 2013 09:26:00 EDTApple - Forget the Third Quarter, Guidance Is KeyApple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is set to report Q3 2013 earnings this afternoon after the market close and around half of (surveyed) Wall Street analysts expect the company to post a year-over-year contraction on the bottom line.&nbsp; The Cupertino California-based tech titan has experienced more than its fair share of controversy and derision over the past several months as the slowing pace of development as well as macroeconomic frailty have contributed to slumps in device sales and notably new product releases.&nbsp; The company has failed to announce a new product over the past three months and hasn&rsquo;t released a breakthrough product in ...http://www.minyanville.com/mvpremium/2013/07/23/apple-forget-the-third-quarter/
Tue, 23 Jul 2013 13:30:00 EDTFast &amp; FuriousI think you move me. - Wild Thing (The Troggs) On Tuesday they ran stocks back up after a large downside gap. Ditto the overnight session when they moved the futes back up again leading to Wednesday&rsquo;s strong up open. Now we know why. It was a setup for a large institutional sell program -- a &ldquo;buy &lsquo;em to sell &lsquo;em&rdquo; setup. Otherwise they wouldn&rsquo;t have come apart like a dime store toy in both instances. &nbsp; As my Dad used to say &ldquo;The market doesn&rsquo;t move. It is moved.&rdquo; &nbsp; We saw a similar trap on May 22 shortly ...http://www.minyanville.com/mvpremium/2013/06/13/fastfurious/
Thu, 13 Jun 2013 09:55:00 EDTGoogle Fiber: The Current Naysayers Will Love It in 3 YearsFolks there&#39;s a firm new bearish argument for the Google (GOOG) and that is the pending rollout of Google Fiber. Now I could point out that every &quot;big bear attack&quot; on Google spending too much money has been proven wrong -- YouTube Android Motorola making smartphones Gmail and heck for that matter starting the company to go after Internet Search when the industry leaders had essentially quit innovating and investing in search. But let me just focus on the current bear arguments against Google Fiber and attack them head-on: 1. Google Fiber is going to cost too much money. 2. ...http://www.minyanville.com/mvpremium/2013/04/11/google-fiber-the-current-naysayers-1/
Thu, 11 Apr 2013 16:50:00 EDTApple's iPad Won't Blow Up Your Electricity Bill The change you find stuck between the cushions of your sofa could be more than enough to charge your iPad (AAPL) for a year. According to IndyStar.com the annual cost to power the popular tablet is a mere $1.36 less than what it costs to power a 60-watt compact fluorescent bulb. The non-profit research and development group Electric Power Research Institute or EPRI conducted the study to determine how much of an effect the newly-popular devices might have on the nation&#39;s electricity use. The results show it&rsquo;s not much at all. Even if the number of iPads were to ...http://www.minyanville.com/mvpremium/2012/06/26/apples-ipad-wont-blow-up/
Tue, 26 Jun 2012 15:35:00 EDTGoogle Fails to Live Up to Promises Oh the places Google (GOOG) would go! At last year&rsquo;s developers conference Mountain View executives espoused many a change to Android. Among other things it introduced Honeycomb 3.1 gave us our first glimpse of Ice Cream Sandwich -- the &ldquo;one OS that runs everywhere&rdquo; -- and promised music in the cloud. Now with this year&rsquo;s keynote upon us AllThingsD has given us a rundown of what projects and services were in fact ready for primetime and what may have fallen short of Google&rsquo;s own expectations. &nbsp;&nbsp; Let&rsquo;s start on a positive note. AllThingsD gave Google &ldquo;full marks&rdquo; for its ...http://www.minyanville.com/mvpremium/2012/06/26/google-fails-to-live-up/
Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:40:00 EDTGoogle, Facebook Get a Taste of Their Own Medicine Over the past few years online privacy concerns have become increasingly prevalent both to a general population worried about what Facebook&rsquo;s (FB) doing with their photo and the nation&rsquo;s military. Whether we&rsquo;re on our MacBooks (AAPL) or BlackBerrys (RIMM) there&rsquo;s always the chance that some malevolent force might be after our data. Well across the pond a few Dublin residents are looking to if not assuage then at least bring a bit of parity to privacy concerns. Filmmaker and digital rights expert Caroline Campbell recently joined with visual artist Nina McGowan to make a short video about the city. ...http://www.minyanville.com/mvpremium/2012/06/26/google-facebook-get-a-taste/

Tue, 26 Jun 2012 11:30:00 EDTNorth America Now Has Fewer Rich People Than Asia Earlier this year we found out that it was more expensive to rent in Beijing than Midtown Manhattan. New Yorkers were horrified. Well the global recession has done a lot more than drive down Manhattan rent from obscene to merely expensive. It&rsquo;s also given Asia an edge over North America in total millionaires. Don&rsquo;t worry though thanks to people like Microsoft (MSFT) co-founder Bill Gates Google&rsquo;s (GOOG) Larry Page and Sergey Brin and newly minted gazillionaire and Facebook (FB) founder Mark Zuckerberg North America still holds the largest share of the world&rsquo;s wealth. Apple&rsquo;s (AAPL) massive cash reserves probably ...http://www.minyanville.com/mvpremium/2012/06/20/north-america-now-has-fewer/
